I’ve never been mentioned in the same breath and Jeremy Clarkson and the Queen before so thanks 😂

I love your videos, it shows a clear case how much to own it and fix it! Roll on , do the videos about the car!

One thing that will happen , now you own a RR is that you'll always want to have a RR. I drive a L405 and have an early model in the garage , along with another daily driver . But there's something special only a RANGE ROVER gives you !

Excellent video Lucy. And you have a lovely family as well and an amazing RR. Well done and look forward to more 👍👍

All the way from South Africa. Thank you. I love your channel. Am looking at getting this car pretty soon, so this is very helpful. Keep it up. 👌👌👌

Crippling anxiety every time you get in the car. That had to be the best review comment I’ve ever heard! 😂

Great video for us with Rangeroveritis ... You just gotta love em!

Opposite cars: my 2012 L322 and my 2017 Chevy Bolt EV (same as Opel Ampera E). We use the Bolt for most of our daily driving, but have the L322 for when we need it - cross country drives, off road adventures, tow a trailer when needed, or when the weather gets really bad. I'm not quite sure what a tailgate is... but I seem to use our "boot flap" in similar ways to you. 😉 The L322 has more running costs than some other vehicles, but other vehicles simply underperform in comparison. Also the initial cost of an L322 is quite low for how much vehicle you get. I'm surprised how noisy you find the cabin. Mine is very quiet, nearly as quiet as my EV. Perhals it's a combo of your diesel and tires?

Crippling anxiety every time you get in the car. That had to be the best review comment I’ve ever heard!

Opposite cars - my 2011 L322 5.0 S/C and my 2015 Abarth 595 Competizione 180. Getting into the Abarth after the RR makes it feel like one of those red and yellow little tikes cars! My l322 is virtually silent (although i guess the petrol engine will be a bit smoother) so your road noise may be down to the tyres. Try some Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Seasons with PNCS (foam inserts) in the 255/55 profile and you won't be disappointed.

Other bonuses of the high driving position that I've found is that you don't get glare from people's headlights as much. Also you end up being above people's spray on the motorway when it's wet. And you can see much further ahead, great for seeing potential dangerous situations earlier than a driver of a much lower car

Got in the machine excellent content 👌

Great video Lucy look forward to next one and what you say is so true. 👍👍👍👍👍

Also it's a lot of money spent on it but it was a cheap and high mileage version so it's to be expected. Would be the same for any luxury car

Lexus ,total reliability to boom 💥 👌

Cool video. Having potentially dody older cars is a bit of an art form. You need to have some skills and tools to avoid dealership weirdness. Eg; I was quoted $400 to fix the window switch in my car, but bought it used off ebay for $35 and installed it myself in 10 minutes. Another example was the seat height adjuster broke, so the dealer quoted $1,000 for the frame only. Bought a used seat for $75. It's not that Dealers are evil, it's just that they view repairs as either a) done properly, or b) not done properly. Properly costs money, and improper is unacceptable to them.

Great Video Lucy

I think, although I could have forgotten how many days since I last watched one of your videos, your subscriber number has gone up by 1000? 😳

Great video! Just subbed after watching. My 2 opposite cars are the Citroen Ami & Mercedes Benz G wagen 6x6. (Neither I would want but both are modern and different methods of personal transport)

Great video, I know the chap from High Peak autos lovers his RRs

Love the video's I can't get the link to work for Carly though, keep video's coming.

I am a huge LR/RR fan. In fact we currently own three…but I will never ever drive it out of the OEM plan. If I were to buy a used vehicle out of plan it’ll be a Lexus or Toyota.

Always enjoyable and entertaining, well done guys, Range Rovers for ever !!❤

Enjoy the heated seats, steering wheel, and try out the fuel burning heater. It is awesome. Love walking out of the house on a cold frosty morning and getting straight in a warm motor.

Nearly went for the L322, but after driving the Cayenne I went for that,- coming from a discovery I fancied a break away from LR anxiety!!!… so my 2 poles apart cars are Cayenne turbo (zero miles to the gallon) and Niro electric (zero gallons to many miles)…. I agree it’s good to have 2 cars at opposite ends of the spectrum! Keep the updates coming. 😊

You have to make a distinction between maintenance and repairs and running costs. As cover is the same for any car. Tires, batteries , wiper blades are wear and tear

In Australia people love these vehicles, so the Range Rover / Land Rover owner are either rich so they buy a vehicle new and trade it when it is out of warranty ie three years, or join a Range Rover Club and share/find ways to fix RR problems, plus there are good Range Rover dedicated after market work shops who charge reasonable prices and know RR problems.

You should do a video on your bmw. If im right in thinking it’s a PHEV, be interesting to hear what you think of it!

How's the money pit on wheels? Surely you've left out lots of repair costs that you spoke of before? What's next to break down? Such excitement!

Opposites wise, First car is a 1992 Mini Mayfair, 998cc engine, tiny. Second is a 2013 Freelander 2 Dynamic, far larger. Third is a 2001 Range Rover P38 4.6 Vogue. Went from tiny with a tiny engine to pretty huge with a massive engine in just under 3 years!

Rebuilt Land Rover Defenders & Volkswagen camper vans from the shell outwards...Thinking of opening a small workshop that specialises in rebuilding these things ...get them right from day one and you can run them for five years without problems

Great video,I had one it was great 2008 model vogue, I’ve got a BMW X5 it’s good but it’s not a RR , thanks 👍🙏

This is one of those cars that you should drive at some point in your life before you get too old!

Hi guys I have owned several SUV from ford expedition, Yukon Dinali and I have since brought two HSE 2007 and 2012 while there were some issues theses were the best ones I have driven. Vehicle maintenance is very important on all vehicle make and models .The wife ❤❤❤❤❤❤them .

I think you’ve gotten off quite lightly for an L322 of that age. Road noise must be the tyres - even my P38 was pretty quiet on the road and the L322 will be better again.

Nice motor and the best model 👍

What tyres do you have? Road noise shouldn't be an issue in a RR, mine is very refined. As for opposites, probably some hideous Japanese supermini with a two-cylinder petrol engine and everything inside is vacuum-formed plastic. My other ride is an opposite for different reasons :D

Absolutely a great car I have one myself with all the same problems u have but shame u got the diesel more problems to go wrong than the petrol version

Range Rover fan here too. A 2008 L320 (Range Rover Sport) 3.6 TDV8. Only 80k miles. Owned it for 6 years now. I also own a 2007 Audi A4 Avant quattro 160k miles (owned for 13 years). I think the Range Rover is the better car all round, there is just something about driving it that is fabulous. The Audi has its place and is a good all rounder too but not as good to drive as the Range Rover.

Greetings Lucy many thanks for this vidéo. very informative. I'm in France. how hard is it transfer the registration from the UK to France. that would be an interesting vidéo. I'd love to buy a L322 from England and then drive it home to Lee-ill 🙂

On mine the low coolant sensor needed replaced and that warning stopped.

Was the bloke that supplied and fitted the battery called Robin??

Can you actually drive a diesel L322 in town without paying Ulez? Keep le content coming… I’d secretly have one but only if I won le euro lotz. JLR god luv ‘em!

You got L332 good price. Great video

I don’t think that’s bad at all on costs it’s a high end car and it’s never going to be cheap to repair. I’m not sure about that battery cost the Bosch is only £160 for that car. I have a 2018 RR Sport so far so good no issues had it 18 months.

Another brill video,£4000 spend in 6 months,wow,I drive a x5 had it for 2years apart from diesel,no expensive repairs,I think I will be sticking with what I have.

£550 for a battery , shop around more Lucy , I got a fiver year warranty one for about £150 , so getting shopping around ❤️

"My favourite thing of the Range Rouver is that its big enough to fit my starbucks cup while driving" type of video

Your AA Cover sounds horrendously expensive. Give them a ring next time it’s due and tell them you’re thinking of switching to another service like the RAC. I guarantee they’ll drop the price. I do that every year and it never fails to save me some money. You may well be surprised at what you end up saving. Every little helps!

JeyEm on cars reviewed another range rover with virtually same number plate recently...good video...

Yes you have spent 11,000 altogether and yes you could of bought a newer Ford Focus for that but which one would you feel the best in.

on my P38, the N was missing. RA GE Rover

Iv been hear B4 and I'll say it again it one big 💰 pit

Informative video as ever guys. Thank you. I'm aghast you spent £11,000 in your first 6 months. For instance, £550 for a new battery is, IMHO, somewhat of a rip off. Genuine LR I presume; you can get them online for max £200 delivered. I had a battery problem with my 04 L322 in France one summer and it only cost me £150 delivered and fitted by a local French garage. I do recall a comment by the guy that produces High Peak Autos videos saying that there is no point buying genuine OEM new parts for an old car as the investment equation doesn't stack up. He recommends third party or secondhand parts. I tend to get my servicing done by a bona fide LR agent, to keep the records sweet, but buy my parts online and get my local garage to fit them or do it myself. I do understand that if you take the car to a LR garage then you will have to pay the high hourly labour costs and prices for OEM parts. Like you say these are not cheap cars to own despite their low (comparatively) second hand prices. I had a 04 L322 for 2 years and it was a dog with it's electrics. It cost me nearly £3500 with various electrical shops trying to rectify the problem; it was never fixed. I have owned a 08 L322 for 3 years now and it has been a dream car. Only had a one light come on - Engine Management - but as I had a Carly ( great product) as soon as I plugged it in the light extinguished and not had the problem since. Just a piece of advice to prospective buyers of the L322; do a gearbox oil, filter and sump flush and change on purchase if the car has over 100K miles on the clock. Further, replace the 3 transaxle gearbox oils as well; you could do this at home if need be. Another piece of advice: if you consistently buy fuel from the supermarkets it is likely that your Engine Management light will come on as the fuel quality is not as good as Esso/Shell/BP fuel. If this happens, add some Redex fuel additive to the tank on a fill and it should extinguish the lamp. Failing that buy a Carly; they work. I've been very lucky as the car has performed faultlessly in the 3 years of ownership. Therein lies the trap of owning one of these marvelous cars; it could be a dog and tear a hole in your bank account, or it could be an absolute honey and apart from servicing, cost you nothing more. As you imply though they are in a class of their own to drive and once you own one you'll be hard pressed to want any other car. Look forward to more videos.

Taking out the purchase cost and the compulsory tax , insurance and fuel I don’t think those running costs are that bad , you are only really looking at maintenance during that period as any other car would have had compulsory costs , ok maybe a bit less but for what you are getting it’s reasonable.

Buying any car with over 160,000 miles on it was a very courageous ( or foolish ) investment. Even if that were 160,000 Km I'd still hesitate. Enjoyed the video though. 🙂

I love my l322... you can upgrade the infotainment system.. costs about 1k. I've not done it... not bothered.. you can upgrade the interior lighting to leds... Good fun and easy job to do, brings it up to date.

Can you explain the AA , as it seems you get a better service than we do in Ireland 🇮🇪.

Its yours now - keep it! Hopefully that will be that… No such thing as cheap motoring anymo. Unfortch! I bought a £400 Honda Civic. 22yrz old 90kmlz Did 30thou mlz in 3yrz. Drove south a franwce/catalonia in summer 2020. It never missed a beat. But in those 3 yrz spent £2 grand plus on tyres exhaust clutch brakes servicing If I drove like a Christian on Valium god 45mpg EML Chrimbog Blackpool Illuminaisch? All the sensors are starting to age an le ones that are throwing up random codes are le ones to replace first. What will happen as time goes on, one will go wobbly that will put it in to limp mode. Presume you are all over le L322 forums? They will guide you. Happy Motoring!

I think the most opposite would be my Disco3 V8 and my Tazzari Zero City.

Lucy…if you are going to own any older LR product, you’re going to need to tackle most of these issues and arising problems yourself…..you’ve thrown away £350 on the new battery for a 10 minute job. You can recode the battery with the Carly too…. You bought yours at a great price so no point in giving back your advantage by not doing some DIY…. If you need help just ask in your videos… so many people will be glad to advise and even help out… there is a great community of LR owners…. 1 must have feature is Apple CarPlay (or android auto if you use one of those things)… can be added for around £500 if you DIY…..keeps everything oem just adds Wireless CarPlay. Also… I live very close to worthing and there have been many thefts recently…. Targeting LR products…. (Mine included 😢) Please hide your OBD port… takes 5 minutes and will prevent the theft.

RR L322 cost circa 85k . Worth nowhere near that now . Unfortunately nobody told the car . It still demands the best .The Vouge iirc was the entry model. If you want expensive own the 4.4 v8D . Good luck

New Battery £204.99 fitted at home by AA for a 2012 Range Rover 4.4 TDV8!!! Shop around

My tech manager friend at Stratstones tells me never to buy a Land Rover product…..electrics and sun roof leakages…..even for a brand new Range Rover…..sorry.

Yes

Do you inflate tires with special air.?.. Its only £399..

The coolant light will be the sensor always play up,better of replacing the whole thing expansion tank, road noise will depend on your tyres.£550 for a battery? Great uploads Lucy keep em coming.

The most opposite cars I can think of would be Peel P50 vs new Rolls-Royce Phantom 😂

Ran Over Reg... That works

£550 for a battery is way over the top, obviously that's fitted and they are a back breaker to install, sounds like main dealer pricing.

Sunny Worthing!

I'm glad I don't own one of these ! My E39 M5 seems like an economy vehicle in comparison You could have a good estimate at how much you've spent on diesel just by scaling the mileage on average fuel consumption and fue costs.

Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!

Watched a lot of your videos there good no u won't reply grate videos and your cute to witch better still x

Opposite cars: Mini Cooper - Hummer H1 Alpha

Great review however some points for anyone consider when buying any second hand luxury car, especially anything from Land Rover. 1. Luxury car second hand might seem a bargain, until you start repairs and servicing. Luxury car will always have Luxury car level servicing costs and terrible reliability. Which is why they depreciate so much in value out of warranty, especially after five years. 3. Ah but what about extended mechanical warranties, read the fine print and conditions they cover bugger all really and often cap at a low annual limit of 5k-10k. Couple minor repairs and one medium you'll hit the cap. Range Rover breaks it's Air Suspension or some other major repair the vehicle is a write off. 3. It isn't the fancy multimedia and big screens you're missing out on with a 10 year old Range Rover, it's the Safety Rating. Last 5-7 years especially have seen big improvements in car design/safety. Range Rover might seem big and safe, but it's safety rating and crash survivability will be a lot less than a new Toyota Corolla. 4. The only reliable Luxury brand to buy after 5 years old and out of warranty. Lexus. 5. Clarkson can afford a Range Rover, most people can't. And if you can't afford one new, you can't afford one second hand either.

Enjoyed your vid , every thing you need and like about driving it you will get with a Landcruiser , all the things you don’t like, you won’t get with a Landcruiser .😉.. LANDCRUISER AMAZON ..The finest 4x4 ever built ..

I think you have said and may of been asked. But how did you guys manage too insure the car for a reasonable price? If so how much hehe?

VEGAN ERROR is another option for the letters 🙂

The levels of derangement in Range Rover owners, especially those with old cars, is incredible. A litany of faults and grief and huge costs, massively uneconomical and not eco friendly, and STILL the excuses come out. The cult of Range Rover drivers. It’s like ‘yes they’re terrible to run but I can afford it’ so I guess good luck to them. And of course if Jeremy Clarkson said it, it must be true and justify the costs. Keep pumping your money into the economy guys, it’s good for the GDP.

are you sure it's a 3.6 tdv8? i thought it was a 4.4 TDV8

Biggest bills with JLR. Their owners deserve it

You don't buy these unless you have deep pockets or buy new under warranty regarding your faults just electrical lol they willbe what cost you more wouldn't pass a mot with warning lights on as for carly it's like using a calculator doesn't make u an accountant only as good as the persons knowledge using it

Nice looking but definitely very high maintenance, prone to strops and malfunctions. The Range Rover as well.

A Hummer and a 2CV! 😁😁

Coolant sensor is coolant fault , common fault , easy fix

Wow. You've spent a fortune on some issues that are easily resolved at home. If your going to run an old land rover product which weren't ever blessed with the best build quality-you really need to bust out the tools and do the work yourself. It will save you lots of money.

Opposite cars - Renault Twizzy or Citroen Ami compared with Hummer H1 🤷‍♂️

Maybe use a fixed camera when you're driving Your partner holding the camera whilst you're driving is giving me motion sickness as the camera is constantly moving I think it's more professional too

Just get the battery spec/info, get a battery delivered from a online retailer with a four year warranty literally for a fraction of the price and then get a friendly mechanic to fit it ffs. It's not very clever to pay through the nose!

All I can say is........lucky George 😉

Please, hold o., more vidios when it has any problem.

Don't forget that the resale value drops off a cliff as soon as you drive it out of the dealership. Don't buy one in the first place, simples

Opposites Mercedes G Wagon and 4x4 Fiat Panda.

Should've just bought a 4.4 TDV8 for what you've spent.

Plugs in dyognostic 23 faults lol car health bad,welcome to range rover ownership, lovely cars nevertheless 👌😀

i prefer my old v8 disco

Wheres the defender???????? Not happy! hahah

Er a battery for £550 ...... are you sure?

Sell car crippling costs irresponsible Plus try and be punctual it's rude . Yr young couple don't throw away money range rover s for rich generally speaking.
